Yep..and that generation includes your parents, who didn't abort you. "X-ers"....the 'all about me' generation.

Considering the highest rates of abortion didn't happen until extremely late into Gen X that isn't surprising.

As for X-ers being 'all about me', X-ers and Y-ers are the ones doing the bulk of volunteering during a time of war. They are not out en masse protesting, ala the Boomers. My parents are boomers, and I lived with/married a boomer (biggest mistake of my life)for 10 years. After 5 years I'm still paying for the financial irresponsibilites due to her "all about me" attitude. Forgive me if I have a less than stellar outlook on what the Boomer generation has wrought on this country, and what we have to look forward too (Social Insecurity).

You married a “boomer”? You’re lucky you weren’t sent to a reeducation camp for your lack of generational solidarity. Don’t you think it would be great if everyone could wear their birthdate, printed in large, easily read numbers? That way a person could tell at a glance whether someone is worthy of friendship or contempt.
